Today, I finished a dance competition. With competitions, it requires you to wear a lot of makeup like false eyelashes and red lipstick. I went into a Starbucks to get a coffee and a boy around 18 asked me, in all seriousness, what my rate is for one night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm a barista at Starbucks. When my crush walked in and asked how much his coffee would cost, I said a date. He said he'd rather pay for the coffee. FML
Today, date night with my boyfriend. I had my makeup done, fake lashes, etc. He was staring at me and I thought, "Oh, he loves how my eyes look" so I started flirting a lot, fluttering my lashes. We then took a pic and saw my lashes were falling, so I asked, ”Were they like that the whole night?” He replied, “Yeah, it looked weird.” FML
Today, I got all dressed up to go on a date with a guy. Upon getting to my house to pick me up, he told me he'd forgot to put on mascara, and asked if he could borrow some. FML
Today, I played a goth character in my friend's student film with goth clothes, lip ring, eyeliner, etc. We went into Starbucks at break and an elderly man came up to me and said "Your kind is the reason for all the bad stuff in this world" and then spat in my $5 drink. FML
Today, I tried to flirt with the cute barista by pretending to know a lot about coffee. I said, “I’ll take a macchiato, extra creamy.” He smiled and said, “That’s… not a thing.” I panicked and said, “Neither is my love life.” FML
Today, I went on an a date with a guy I met online. We were waiting in line at Starbucks when he turned to me and said, "Do you want anything?" Just before I was about to answer, he practically shoved in front of me and paid for himself. The cashier looked more horrified than I did. FML
Today, I went to a dance and saw a really cute guy. Glow sticks were everywhere, so trying to be cute, I took a broken one and dripped some of the glowing liquid on my chest. It made him notice me, but only for him to point out that I'd managed to cut myself and was bleeding badly. FML
Today, I went with my dad to Starbucks. There is this really cute guy who works there and he kept looking over at me, so I went over to say hi. He ended up asking if my dad was single. FML
Today, I had to dress like a diva for a drama performance and my friend said I looked like a hooker. Then someone said, “If hookers looked like that, they wouldn't get any money." FML
Today, I went to the park and people were crowded around some dancers. One of the dancers danced up to me, gave me a flower, and winked at me. I was very flattered, until the same dancer asked me to give the flower back after the dance so he could use it on the next show. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That is a good point. I never really thought about it that way before - personally I do actually feel better if I correct someone else's mistake. But you are right - it isn't actually any of my business..

She probably went to Starbucks in between her dances and couldn't or didn't want to bother taking it off when she'd need to put it back on.

"Exotic Dancer, not hooker, remember that"

Did you win the competition? Or did you lose AND look like a hooker?

Who cares what people think OP! Let them look. If people want to make judgements about peoples appearance without knowing anything else about em is their problem. I'm sure they do a lot worse behind their own doors. What an oppressive society in which to live where a person can't openly express themselves even a little.

"Dancer, not a hooker..." ;)

people are very stereotypical

I don't think that you know what stereotypical means.

let me get this straight. In full makeup for a show, you went out for a cup of Joe, and some John mistook you for a hoe? A young buck at Starbucks thought your makeup meant a hookup? Instead of lipstick on his dipstick, show the dipshit your low kick.

This is when I don't know whether it's a FML or a YDI. That kid is pretty rude and daring, but you could have removed your makeup beforehand.
stargirl_95 24
This FML is in no way a YDI. First of all, what if OP was waiting for the results of her competition and decided to go out for a quick coffee while she waited? What if she had decided to take her makeup off at home and on the way there she decided to stop at a Starbucks for a coffee? There is no law stating that removing makeup is the first thing that dancers have to do after a competition. Secondly, even if she did look like a hooker with all that makeup on that man had no right to be so rude. Since when are hookers the only ones who wear a lot of makeup? He was completely in the wrong for assuming that just because OP was wearing heavy makeup, she was a hooker and then he was even more wrong for assuming that it would be in anyway appropriate for him to go up to her and ask her for her hourly rate.
